I want this to be good, but it just can't.
So.
Will Willis take the highroad and have the father redeem himself.
Or just double on the strawman because fuck you dad I don't wanna go to church.
>>77445815
I honestly don't know which trope Willis is going to pick here.
Will he go with the repentant, atonment speech from the asshole who has seen the light?
Orrrr will he go easy mode with the smug SJW speech that proves Becky is awesome and all parents suck forever NYAH NANA NYA NYAHHH
>>77445988
>TFW there's literally zero chance that Willis will go with the best possible option and have a very tense, and distressing talk between the both of them where they come to terms with the fact that they'll never be able to see eye to eye, and despite their love for one another as family, they'll likely never be able to interact naturally again because their actions have put an irreparable rift between them
>>77445988
This is Willis we're talking about, it will be the latter.
How come the fully grown fit man was the only one injured during all this and all the small, lanky or fat young woman were completely unharmed?
OH GOD HERE WE GO.
>>77445988
It's whatever you call some eternally butthurt beta faggot who makes stories where he gets revenge on his dad.
>>77445988
Option C - He leaps from the bed, grabs the cop's gun, and the rampage continues.

Well, he was punched by Joyce, so-

If that's true, then the fallout from it is gonna be amazing.
>>77448660
I really hope that pun wasn't intentional.
>>77446448
This random cop that's been assigned guard duty has the highest authority
While we're waiting for Patreanon to show up, I'm going to storytime a little Prince Valiant, because one of Willis' regular commentors said that this strip was more "grounded" than Dumbing of Age.

>>77449498
>>77449507
>>77449511
Oh shit this is good stuff.
>>77449524
But Anon, wouldn't you rather read Dumbing of Age? It's so much less grounded!
>cop's dialogue
Just fuck your dad already Willis
This is pretty interesting.
>>77449623
But it's not grounded!
>>77449639
This is legit, the art is glorious and Prince Val is cute as fuck. Some authors defy realism to bloat their cast with lesbians, others have bold adventures and marsh dragons instead.
So how long does this series go for?
>>77449681
Princee Valiant? The torrent I got these with has 9 books, but I don't think that's all of them; Hal Foster wrote and drew this strip from 1938 to about 1971. Fantagraphics are reprinting the strip in these beautiful hardcovers, two years a book, and they've only managed 11 books so far.
>>77449669
It genuinely is the most beautiful comic
Turns out I have to leave the house soon
>>77449727
Well shit, I'd better stop reading because I don't want to get hooked.
>>77448634
All things being equal, his kids are gonna grow up to be so conservative they'll make Trump blush.
There, that's a nice cliffhanger to end on for now. See you in a few!
Minifig, you're my hero.
So I just got here. What does /co/ think of Willis's other work? (Besides original Roomies, which is incredibly painful on several levels)
>>77446058
If he started writing stuff with any punch to it, I might actually have to give him props. And that would be awkward.

>>77446138
Joyce and Sal didn't actually crash, despite their best efforts. Toedad and Becky were the only ones in the car when it wiped out, and Becky had her seatbelt on, which I guess I can accept as having saved her from injury (given this is a comic book).
We haven't seen Amber, so she could be pissing blood and lapsing in and out of consciousness for all we know.

I am a fan of It's Walky and Joyce and Walky.

Thanks anon, I always wanted to see how it wrapped up.
>>77450408
>>77450422
It is purely out of my lingering fondness for the mid-2000s IW community that I request you delete these as soon as possible.
I feel like many of the fans from back then wouldn't be welcome anymore. Hell I feel unwelcome there myself, and I support the Missouri protests. (Not the Yale protests, though, that's just silly.)
>>77450651
The missou protests are fucking retarded though.
>>77450651
why should i delete them again?
>>77450645
Yeah, it's surprising that Willis took 5 years to complete the wedding bit considering his good work ethic.
>>77450651
>Implying there aren't worse fandoms already on /co/
>>77450672
>why should i delete them again?
Because people who didn't pay for them shouldn't see them.
>>77450710
a 10 year old webcomic by a hack who we regularly steal from anyway by just looking at the patreon strips early
Jesus christ, Ross was still a strawman 10 years ago.
>>77450710
No one complained about people posting the patron strips, and i got the J&W links from the patreon.
>>77450651
>>77450710
The fact that these pages are accessible without any actual member's log-in information means that the pages would have come out anyways
>>77450726
He isn't a strawman.
None of the opinion he says are being changed or deformed. He express opinion that are actually said.
It's like, you don't want stories to have bad guys. i mean, he isn't even unrealistic. There people in real life who are exactly like this.
>>77450754
So, you didn't hate the recent DOA storyline with Ross in it?
>>77450754
>He express opinion that are actually said.
>There people in real life who are exactly like this.
[citation needed]
>>77450672
Too focused on trying to make DoA profitable on its own, along with having to drag Shortpacked on so he could still earn enough money probably changed his focus, then it sort of just drifted to the back.
Are there any male homosexuals in this comic, or is it all lesbians? I just find it hard to read a webcomic that features predominately lesbians by a guy.
>>77450834
I can only recall two, Ethan and Danny (he's a bisexual, but whatever)
>>77450770
The gun rampage is a bit 50s, but the rest you just need to visit alabama.
Back when he had some self-awareness
Whatever happened to Warboss Hamfist?
>>77449902
Shortpacked was legitimately good for a time, but then devolved into strawmanning and nonsensica, contradictory SJW soapboxing, and all the good characters were replaced with irritating unlikable ones.
>>77450960
Except for Ken and Lucy.
I will defend that to the grave.
>>77450754
>he is the most blatant and bold faced strawman in the history of strawmans if he was a mega man villain he would be called strawman, and he would shot opinions no one has at you, that you can easily defend yourself against because you are controlling his side of the argument as well as your own.
ftfy
seriously the vast majority of American christians have no problem with any form of gay rights ever including marriage, adoption, and pastoral jobs, (why do you think it got legalized? because people hated the idea?) and have no problems with any current scientific theory, or historical facts.
don't tell the atheists though, they think all christians are deluded evangelicals, foot washing baptists, catholics, or westboro super fringe nut jobs.
>>77450983
>>he is the most blatant and bold faced strawman in the history of strawmans if he was a mega man villain he would be called strawman, and he would shot opinions no one has at you, that you can easily defend yourself against because you are controlling his side of the argument as well as your own.
top keks lad
>>77450981
Ken was basically a less interesting Ethan.
Lucy was alright, but she never rose above being Malaya's punching bag. Not even in DoA.
>>77451006
well i still liked them.
also if Joyce and Ken aren't a thing in DOA i'm gonna be annoyed.
>>77451018
I mean, I liked Lucy. She was cute and had potential, but Willis just made her Black Amber and called it a day because he's a lazy fuck.
>>77450754
>He express opinion that are actually said
That's irrelevant, although in this particular strip he's not exactly a strawman.
If Willis' goal is to attack an idea or position, then creating a fictional character your position can win against is a straw man. If his goal is to make a story, then it's just a character.
Willis is shit partly because he can't keep these two things separate, and it really shows.
If you represent another person's argument through a character, you have complete control over his or her rhetoric. You can make them sound stupid, be dumbfounded when presented with an alternate point of view, use flimsy arguments, or kidnap their daughter and claim Satan is responsible, all without changing their "opinion".
>>77451041
Except Lucy didn't have any bullshit backstory with an abusive father or whatever that was.
>>77451057
Like I said. Too lazy to do anything substantial with her. The most she got was becoming the new Amazi-Girl and that was just used as an excuse to make more strawman comics.
>>77451006
She also became Amazi-Girl for a while too.
>>77451057
Instead of Abusive Dad, Lucy had Obnoxious Online Fanboys as her main antagonists. She even curbstomped some for calling her a fake nerd girl when in Amazi-Girl mode.
>>77451041
But surely the white fanboy from the Midwest has much to say about the black experience.
>>77451056
A straw man is explicitly a weaker version of what it represents. The comparison is it is to position what a straw man is to a human.
If he can literally pull up someone saying that thing then it's not a strawman, it might be cherry picking weak argument, but that's not the same thing.
>>77446448
>won't she have to go to court?
Probably not. They've got the guy dead to rights with dozens of other witnesses.
>>77446448
>>77446977
Her appearance in court might make it more likely for him to be convicted but she isn't required to. There's lots of precedent of victims refusing to because they don't want to be in the same room as the abuser or relive the events.
It's not like they're going to slap cuffs on her and drag her into the witness box if she doesn't want to.
Okay, so why is he going to jail? Firing a gun into the air in public? That's not going to keep a guy in jail for long.
He didn't kidnap the girl, she came with him willingly.
Dino girl attacked him in the woods and tried to bite his face off.
Hero girl attacked him while he was driving and nearly killed everyone.
Other girl beat up a man who'd just been thrown out of a moving vehicle so hard she broke her hand.
And he's the only one being charged with anything?
>>77451395
Don't be so impatient, we haven't gotten to the end of the storyline.
Still though, it's bull.
>>77451395
>He didn't kidnap the girl, she came with him willingly
Dude.
You can't have a gun and explicitly threaten to use it in the case that a person doesn't comply with your demands and have the outcome still be "willing". He didn't physically force her into the car but he absolutely used the threat of violence and potential deaths of herself and others to do it.
I can't come to your house with a shotgun and a contract saying you give up everything you own to me and expect to walk out with everything it being legally binding just because you complied with my threats.
>>77451457
What will most likely happen instead is that Toe-Dad goes directly to the electric chair and gets put into an unmarked grave which Toe-Daughter will ritualistically piss on once a year, and the audience claps and subscribes to his patreon
>>77451457
He didn't say he was going to shoot her. He said he was willing to die for her. She came with him because she thought that if she didn't, cops would shoot the fuck out of him, not because she thought he'd shoot anyone.
And looking at it, "celebratory/random gunfire" is classified as a misdimeanor in most states. As long as it doesn't kill anyone, the stiffest penalty is 3 years in California.
Aggravated assault that puts a man in the hospital is more like decades. Hell, the reckless endangerment from the whole thing on the road would be enough.
>>77451565
That's still not how it works. He brandished a gun while demanding that she get into the car and fired it when she didn't comply. The threat of force doesn't need to be explicit, or even directed at her: "I'm willing to die for you." is still an implicit threat that force will be used whether it's on her or someone else, unless she gets into the car.
>>77445815
That has to be the shittiest beard I've ever seen on that cop.
>>77445815

This. He's actually probably the most centrist of the Republican candidates on a lot of issues.
>>77451241
>explicitly a weaker version of what it represents
Unless you think an opponent of an argument wants to represent their opposition strongly, the argument is destined to be weaker. The only way to ensure it's not weaker is to repeat an point-of-wiew verbatim, or be a good writer and separate your opinion from the main character's opinion, but we know Willis can't do that.

Well, that's your lot. You may now resume mocking Willis for being a dumb-dumb.
